Lets get cooking!



I hope this site turns out as good as some of my meals and not as bad as some of my meals.

I love to cook and this blog will be my chance to share recipes. Some wonderful treats and I may even tell about the dismal failures.

Sometimes I short cut and use things like canned tomatoes or pre-shreded  cheese but I prefer from scratch.
